feat(util): app-wide 24h/12h clock format

Add util::formatClockDateTime/formatClockTime driven by a process-wide flag (setClock12h,
synced from the time_format setting each frame). Switch the primary user-facing timestamp
displays to it — the transaction list, wallet-state tx + banned-peer times, the explorer
block time, and the block-info dialog — so one preference drives every clock.

Log files, export filenames/content, console line prefixes, the market chart axis, and the
worker-thread "last updated" string intentionally stay fixed 24h.
